Joe Drogos: Hey, Schmuck,I just read your comments-- ain't it amazing that someone who was actually falking blacklisted would be redbaited after he was dead? Come to think of it, though, Studs did always say that being blacklisted was one of his greatest honors and that getting kicked off television pushed him into radio and, eventually, books.
Joe Drogos: WFMT posted remembrances of Studs here: http://www.wfmt.com/main.taf?p=1,1,41,31. Also, Eight Forty-Eight's Richard Steele hosted a show with Quentin Young, Jaime Kalven and Alex Kotlowitz that basically featured caller's memories of Studs. You can find that here: http://www.chicagopublicradio.org/Program_848.aspx?episode=29910
Just some schmuck: You must have missed this other article in the Times about Terkel, "An Appraisal" by Edward Rothstein that appeared on November 2. In this ridiculous commentary on Terkel's work, Rothstein points to what he sees as Marxist philosophy underlying Terkel's work and he stops just short of calling him a communist, as exemplified in
Susannah: Thanks for your comments, Kathie and Mike! Sorry for the delay in posting them: We had some technical issues. Your lists of works you teach makes me wish we could sit down and talk classes, reading lists, assignments. Keep on keepin' on.

I currently teach a College-level intro to lit course and am teaching the novels On the Road and Sula, plus a number of short stories and novel excerpts, including excerpts from Anna

Tao Lin Vs. The 2ndhand

Calendar Listings by Eugenia on Wednesday 9 May 2007 at 10:25 pm

Date: Wednesday, May 9
Time: 7:30pm
Location: Quimby’s

Tao Lin is my MySpace friend because, unique among self-promoting writers, he has a blog called “Reader of Depressing Books” that, aside from having the most clever name of any website, is fairly entertaining. Plus, Tao Lin posts MySpace bulletins as Richard Yates, which you have to admit is ambitious. Equally ambitious is the simultaneous release of Lin’s first novel, Eeee Eeee Eeee, with his first collection of short stories, Bed, both on the superfantastic Melville House Press. Lin will also read for Bookslut at the Hopleaf on Thursday, but probably won’t dress up like a bear.
